"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

Well said and agreed. About 60% of Americans belong to one of the two major parties. They are the ones directly responsible for selecting their nominees....with 2016 being a noted exception due to DNC corruption and HIllary's Foundation money. The fact the best candidate the Democrats could find was Biden is shocking enough but the fact the Republicans continue to applaud Trump's nuttiness is even more shocking.
We all know about getting the government we deserve so now all we can do is stay informed, vote and hope our nation can unfuck itself in our lifetimes.

Hello Dutch Uncle,
We have to vote for the candidate which will produce the more preferable results.
If we risk letting one which will produce very non-preferable results in then we have no one to blame but ourselves.
No, of course the president does not have sole control over the economy. But sound leadership makes a very big difference over irresponsible leadership.

Agreed on all points. IMO, with our current level of technology, the best system our species has is a Federal Constitutional Republic government and a regulated capitalist economy. Government taxation funds the safety net for the sick, the elderly and minors plus help those who need a hand to become productive taxpayers.
An aphorism often misattributed to Gandhi (although I think he'd agree with it) is "The measure of a civilization is how it treats its weakest members.”
Hubert Humphrey once said “The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.”
UK UN Ambassador Matthew Rycroft once said "How a society treats its most vulnerable – whether children, the infirm or the elderly – is always the measure of its humanity. Even more so during instability and conflict. When a society begins to disregard the vulnerable and their rights, instability and conflict will only grow."
